How to make an Easy Creme Brûlée French Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter 
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 6 large croissants (I love the flavor of Costco’s) – you can add more if you need to stretch the recipe.  I usually fit as many as I can in a 9×13 baking dish
• 5 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

• In a small sauce pan, melt butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat.  Stir until smooth and pour into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
• Cut croissants into one inch cubes and layer over brown sugar mixture.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, orange juice, and salt until completely combined.
• Pour over evenly over croissants.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Pull it out of the fridge for 1 hour before baking to allow it to come to room temperature. 
• Preheat oven to 350 F
• Bake, uncovered, in the middle of the oven, 35-40 minutes. until slightly golden.
• Serve hot, topped with berries and whipped cream.

I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!!!
